Repeat Prescriptions

Patients on long-term medication can order repeat prescriptions in a number of ways:

• By Hand – drop your computerised repeat slip in at reception with the required items clearly marked.
• By Post – send it to us with a stamped addressed envelope if you want us to post it back to you.
• Online – follow the link at the top of this page and carry out a simple registration.

Prescriptions will be available after 48 working hours. Please collect prescriptions after 4pm 

Medication Reviews

Patients on repeat medication will be asked to see either a doctor, nurse practitioner or practice nurse at least once a year to review these regular medications.

Prescriptions Charges and Exemptions

Extensive exemption and remission arrangements protect those likely to have difficulty in paying charges (NHS prescription and dental charges, optical and hospital travel costs).

The NHS prescription charge is a flat-rate amount which successive Governments have thought it reasonable to charge for those who can afford to pay for their medicines.  Prescription prepayment certificates (PPCs) offer real savings for people who need extensive medication.

Please allow 48 hours, excluding weekends and Bank Holidays, for your request to be processed. If you have any queries with regards to your medication please contact the surgery on 01204 463636 and one of our receptionists will be happy to help.
